I picked up a few Hyacinth bulbs at Mr. Middleton's sale in the autumn. I mustn't have looked at the display photo, or maybe there was none there. However, they are called H. 'Gypsy Queen', and I usually think something with the name gypsy would turn out to be orange/red/yellow. That's not the case, but either way they are filling the house with their heavenly fragrance. When the weather gets a bit milder they'll be planted out with ones I've bought in other years, mostly down in the Spring Border.
